ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a way to help us understand how behavior works and how it changes because of what’s around us. It’s a special kind of therapy that is really helpful for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other similar challenges. In ABA therapy, kids work on getting better at things like talking to others, making friends, reading, and learning in school. They also practice everyday skills like using their hands well, keeping clean, and doing chores at home. ABA helps them learn how to be on time and do well in jobs when they grow up.

Megan, Certified BCBA
I have been in the field of ABA for 20 years. I received my undergraduate degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in special education and my master’s degree from St.Louis University in applied behavior analysis. I have always known that my calling was to work with individuals with developmental disabilities. Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of skill levels, disabilities, and ages ranging from toddlers to adults. I have also worked in multiple settings (schools, clinics, private homes, and residential facilities).
I am passionate about giving the individuals I work with new opportunities to learn skills that will make their lives easier and more enjoyable. I believe that every individual deserves a chance to learn more effective forms of communication, play, functional living, and social skills that will not only enhance their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.
Seeing an individual learn a skill that was once thought to be lost or out of their reach, makes it all worth while!
